Fun at the Petting Zoo

My friends and I started a play group this past week and decided that while the weather is still good that we would go to the petting zoo. Here is a picture of Hallie and the goats.

Here is Cade and Angie with the Goats!

Here is Logan with a goat.... there were pretty much only goats for the kids to pet.
They also liked the waterfall and throwing rocks into it. (Sorry to Annie that I didn't get a picture of just her and the goats!)
Then we rode the horses and Hallie REALLY loved that! In fact, believe it or not, it was her favorite part. I know, I know, you're asking yourself... What about the goats? Why wouldn't that have been her favorite part? The goats looked awesome! What a weird kid!
It was her first time riding a horse and I thought that she might be afraid, but she got right up and held on by herself. She even cried when she had to get off.

Logan was the only other kid to ride the horse and he was a little scared. Brittany was right by his side the whole time, but that is understandable. Like I said, I thought that was how Hallie would be acting. It really was fun and I can't wait to have something to do each week to get us out of the house!!! Thanks Brittany, Jenn, and Angie!

Happy Belated Birthday!

For Magic's birthday (almost a month ago) we went to Logan for the weekend. One of the days that we were up there, we went to Bear Lake. That is where these pictures are from.Hallie loved, LoVeD, LOVED the beach. She had so much fun playing in the sand and in the water. We didn't think to bring a pale and shovel, so we had to use a Styrofoam cup instead. Way to go Mom!
That didn't stop her and dad from building a sand castle. She was a pretty good helper, but sometimes would hinder more than help.
She still talks about building a sand castle with dad.
Let's be honest, Magic did most of the work and here's the finished product. With not bucket to help define the shape, I think it turned out really well. Good work Magic and Hallie!

And to prove that I was really there, here's a picture of Hallie and I playing in the water. I'm glad that this picture was from far away and not close up. We had a great time and hope to do a family trip at least once a year.
